Hi Friend --
Just a few hours ago at the United Nations in Vienna, States
Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons just concluded the first meeting of the treaty
and condemned unequivocally “any and all nuclear threats, whether they
be explicit or implicit and irrespective of the
circumstances.”
In response to Russia's nuclear threats, this is the
strongest multilateral condemnation of threats to use nuclear weapons
ever. And they adopted a bold action plan for the end of nuclear
weapons.
The Vienna Declaration shows that there is this new global
alliance that uses the TPNW to push back against unacceptable and
illegal nuclear threats and risks of nuclear war.
The groundbreaking Vienna Action Plan outlines concrete steps
this alliance will take to stop nuclear-armed states from using
nuclear weapons and to move forward to eliminate them.

The 65 states parties, 86 signatories to the treaty, other
supportive states, survivors of nuclear detonations, international
organisations, parliamentarians, financial institutions, youth and
civil society that are part of this new alliance.
The Vienna Declaration concluded with an clear commitment by
these states, that “In the face of the catastrophic risks posed by
nuclear weapons and in the interest of the very survival of humanity …
We will not rest until the last state has joined the Treaty, the last
warhead has been dismantled and destroyed and nuclear weapons have
been totally eliminated from the Earth.”
We are undaunted and unstoppable.
Together we’re ending the age of nuclear weapons,
Beatrice Fihn
It’s time to end nuclear
weapons.
